Local identities Elise Pascoe and her
husband John Kelly have decided to leave
their dream home in Kiama to move closer
to the support of family in Melbourne.
The pair fell in love with Jamberoo on
the June long weekend in 1999, and soon
bought a property on Clover Hill where
they established the hugely successful Elise
Pascoe International Cooking School.
They soon became heavily involved
in the community, particularly the Kiama
Show Society and its offshoot, the Kiama
Wine Show. One of Australia’s leading
food writers and cooks, Elise has been
a mentor for many local food industry
participants and initiatives, including
accepting a role as a ‘talking cookbook’
for the fledgling Kiama Farmers’ Market
to encourage people to use local produce.
After selling the cooking school property
in 2007, they spent a year on sabbatical in
Italy - a country they both love. It was this
year that inspired the house they built in
Seaview St, Kiama, on their return.
“We were so enamoured with the Italian
way of doing things that we came back
determined to recreate the best that we’d
seen while there,” says Elise. No expense
was spared on the property. All of the
shuttered windows and doors were made
to order in Italy and imported here, as were
the door handles and fittings. The light
fittings are mostly Italian too, and of course
the kitchen and butler’s pantry are a chef’s
dream. The gardens too reflect Italy, with
the front yard full of fruit trees and a walled
Roman courtyard out the back.
“We know we were extravagant, but we
were building for the rest of our lives,”
she says. “It was built around the Italian
principle of Viviere Bene - Live Well.”
Unfortunately John’s stroke 15 months
ago means they will have to reluctantly
move on to a different stage in their lives,
as Elise’s two sons live in Melbourne.
The property will soon be on open for
expressions of interest, through Ray White
Kiama.
Preparing to bid arrivederci
Kiama’s Local Environment
Plan (LEP), adopted in 2011
after an extended period of
investigation and consulta-
tion, is to be reviewed.
An LEP is a legal instru-
ment imposing standards
to guide and control
development within a local
government area - such
things as land use zones,
minimum block sizes,
heritage protection and more
- so that they reflect each
community’s expectations.
The Review of the LEP is
not to be a full rewrite of the
document but rather address
anomalies that have been
discovered since the Plan
was adopted. It was describ-
ed at the May Council meet-
ing as a tweaking.
But it was a tweaking that
five councillors wanted to
be involved with. They all
nominated for the three
positions on the Committee,
with Councillors Mark
Honey, Dennis Seage and
Andrew Sloan being elected
to the roles. Councillors
Rice and McClure were
unsuccessful.
The councillors are all
keen for the Review Com-
mittee to report within this
Council’s term, rather than
have the matter drag out,
with a deadline of August
2016 being decided on.
Applications are now be-
ing sort from suitably quali-
fied residents to join the
Committee.
Apart from the three coun-
cillors, one of whom will be
chair, there are positions for
one community representa-
tive each from North Kiama/
Minnamurra, Gerringong/
Gerroa, Kiama and Jam-
beroo, as well as a represen-
tative of rural landholders.
The Health & Sustainab-
lity Committee, Economic
Development Committee
and the Development Indus-
try Committee will all be
asked to nominate a repre-
sentative. In addition,
Council’s General Manager,
Director of Environmental
Services and Manager of
Stategic Planning will be on
the Committee.
The Committee’s purpose
is to provide a forum for
communication between
Council, the community and
relevant sectors in the app-
raisal and review process.
Details: Expressions of
interest should clearly
marked LEP Review
Committee and be lodged
by Thurs 4 June.
They may be emailed to
posted to PO Box 731,
Kiama or delivered to
Council’s Chambers.
Further information avail-
able on Council’s website.

Keeping the KHS Band on track Following the
success of last
year's inaugural
Rock Quiz music
trivia night, fans
of Kiama High's
Band are busy
preparing to do
it again.
Money raised will be used to help fund the school's
Instrumental Music Program including new musical
instruments, repairs and maintenance of existing
instruments, new music books and help to subsidise
band tours.
The KHS Band has been developing young musi-
cians for over 20 years. Students from Years 7-12
participate in the band programs and dedicate their
lunchtimes a number of times a week to prepare for
performances.
The Band performs at local events such as the
Kiama Jazz and Blues Festival, community or school
functions, local charity events, nursing homes and
local primary schools, as well as an annual tour.
"The tours help to promote Kiama to a broader
community as well as providing a wonderful cultural
and musical experience for all involved," says Claire
Stevens, one of the parents organising the event.
The most recent tour was to Tasmania, with desti-
nations in past years including Canberra, northern
NSW, Melbourne and New Zealand.
As usual with these fundraising nights, there’ll be
raffles, a silent auction and games, as well as music
from the Band and drinks at club prices.

Discover the bounty of our wine region this long weekend
Instead of participating in this year’s
regional festival, Gerringong’s Crooked
River Winery is putting its own Winter
Wine Festival.
It is using the long weekend to relaunch
itself as wine and food destination.
After 18 years, the winery's founders,
Brian and Narelle Jackson, have passed
the baton over to the next generation, with
daughter Victoria and her husband Goodie
Felice now in charge. The pair have a
proven record in hospitality management,
and hope the winery becomes a must-stop
spot for those travelling up and down the
South Coast.
The ambitious strategy began last year
when Masterchef Professional, Coop
Woodstone, took over in the kitchen. He
has now been joined by Jimmy Spasevski,
formerly of Seabreeze Dining, as the
new Maitre D’ of the newly renovated
and expanded restaurant.
There will be music over the weekend,
with Strangers in Gotham, Dukes of York
and Lady Vamp playing old and new hits,
as people picnic in the natural amphitheatre
of the valley. The restaurant will be open
for lunch on Saturday and Sunday, with
less formal gourmet food options available
outside. Apart from wine tastings, there
will also be craft beer available.
Details: Queen’s Birthday Weekend,
Crooked River Wines, 10-4pm.

Annual reminder to check out your eyes Macular degeneration, Australia’s leading cause of severe
vision loss and blindness, affects more than 1.15 million
Australians over 50, and without appropriate prevention
and treatment measures, this number is set to increase to
1.7 million by 2030, given the rapidly ageing population.
Kiama optometrists Dr Susan Ang and Dr Margaret
Zhong, of EyeStore, say that research shows that one in
four people over 50 are still not heeding the call to have
their eyes tested and macula checked despite 85% being
aware of macular degeneration.
Susan and Margaret are supporting Macular Disease
Foundation Australia in urging people at risk to see their
local optometrist and take control of their eye health this
Macular Degeneration Awareness Week (24-30 May).
Risk factors for macular degeneration include being over
the age of fifty, a direct family history and smoking.
The very early signs of macular degeneration can now
be identified easily by modern technology which enables
the optometrist to see the
retina at the back of the eye,
where the disease develops,
and detect early signs of the
disease. Along with having an
eye test and macula check,
Australians over 50 should
incorporate the good eye
health practices of diet and
lifestyle into their everyday
health routines, such as
eating dark green leafy vege-
tables, fresh fruit and fish.
Quitting smoking is also
critical, as smoking can lead
to blindness.
Details: For more information
call the Macular Disease Foundation Australia on
1800 111 709 or visit www.mdfoundation.com.au
Signs to look for The symptoms of macular
degeneration may include
the following (the 4 Ds):
� Difficulty with reading
or any other activity
with fine vision
� Distortion where
straight lines appear
wavy or bent
� Distinguishing faces
becomes a problem
� Dark patches or empty
spaces appear in the
centre of your vision.

Recognising carers Nominations for the 2015 NSW Carers Awards are now
open. The awards recognise and celebrate the dedication,
commitment and valuable contributions of unpaid carers
from across the state.
“One in ten people in New South Wales dedicate their
time to caring for someone who needs care because of
disability, mental illness, a chronic health condition,
dementia or ageing,” says Gareth Ward MP. “Every day
carers provide vital unpaid support to members of our
community, improving their lives and saving Australian
taxpayers an estimated $40 billion annually.”
There are Awards for both individuals and organisations.

The May Council meeting
has adopted the recom-
mended policy on the use
of public reserves by fitness
trainers (as outlined in our
last edition).
The final policy includes
a number of amendments,
after taking into accounts
submissions made by the
public during the exhibition
period. In particular:
♦ the reserve around Kiama
Downs SLSC has been
added as a location
♦ Operating hours have
increased by an hour to
7pm during winter and
by half an hour to 8.30pm
during daylight saving
♦ Class sizes have been
increased to 30 at South
Werri Reserve, Chittick
Oval and Coronation Park
♦ Permitted distances from
houses, playgrounds,
beaches etc have been
clarified, as well as the
descriptions of prohibited
activities (see box)
♦ Flexibility has been added
to the fee structure, so
payments for class size
can vary with the seasons,
and trainers can pay their
fees quarterly rather than
annually.
An Expression of Interest
process is to take place so
commercial fitness trainers/
personal trainers can obtain
a permit to operate. Individ-
ual permits will last for two
years .
New trainers wanting to
establish themselves during
the two year interval before
the next EOI will have to
fit in with what reserves
are remaining for use.
Banned activities ♦ Using public infrastruc-
ture
♦ Training on sand dune
stabilisation area
♦ Using ocean pools
♦ Using aggressive or
intimidating training
methods
♦ Using amplified music
and voice
♦ Use of more than one
advertising sign
♦ Using rope, stakes and
vehicle tyres
♦ Attacting any equipment
to vegetation
♦ Having exclusive use of
outdoor fitness equip-
ment
♦ Using stairways or paths
for static or repeated
training routines.
Rules set for trainers in Kiama
Tributes to Kiama’s Hollywood legend The Australian Centre for
Moving Image (ACMI) is to
pay tribute to Kiama's own
Orry-Kelly with an exhibition
devoted entirely to his work.
Orry-Kelly: Dressing Holly-
wood will look at his life and
incredible creative output. He designed costumes
for 285 movies, including Casablanca and Some Like
It Hot, and won three Oscars. There will be some
of the designer's actual costumes that made movie
history on display, thanks to the generosity of
prestigious archives and private collections.
The movie about his life, Women He's Undressed,
is being premiered at the Sydney Film Festival in
the cinema of the Sun Princess on June 10.

Check out Jamie’s Wavelength Kiama artist Jamie Cole’s exhibition is on at the Minnamurra Café for a month
from 26 May. Wavelength explores the colourful coastline and marine life of
the Minnamurra area, emblazoned on paper, canvas and hand-carved timber
surfboards by local craftsman Mark Lucas. Inspired by sailors’ tattoos from the
1950s, it is a vibrant series of works in acrylic paint, ink, gold leaf and mixed
media.
A launch party is being held on Friday 29 May, where money will be raised
for Suicide Prevention Australia by auctioning off one of the surfboards. If
you’d like to attend, contact [email protected] by Monday 25 May.

When Phil and I arrived in the Languedoc
region of France for a holiday in June 2013,
we hadn't planned on buying a house.
But then we stumbled across a beautiful
village house that stole our hearts, and life
as we knew it changed forever. This was
where we were going to spend every Aust-
ralian winter for the next 10 years at least.
Last year we spent our first six blissful
months in our new home, timing our day-
time activities by the chiming bells of the
church opposite.
What we fondly named Chez ‘Roo was
fully and lovingly restored from derelict
in 2002 by an Englishwoman who made
Belpech her home. Such is the charm of
the village, she has puchased again nearby.
Belpech is a typical French village. Built
around a 12th century church and village
square, we found the village to have
everything one could need: two bakery/
patisseries, an excellent butcher who stocks
all sorts of delights other than meat and
cooks chickens on rotisserie out the front of
his store on Sundays, a small supermarket,
a café, a chemist and doctor’s surgery - and
no ex-pat community.
The villagers, who are friendly and wel-
coming, refer to Chez ‘Roo as the Grande
Maison as it occupies the largest parcel of
land in the village centre. Inside its walled
garden are the remains of a previous resi-
dence. The garden is a haven in the centre
of town with fragrant herbs, roses, raspber-
ries, apples and a fruiting grapevine.
Central to Foix, Mirepoix, Pamiers,
Carcassonne (Ryan Air), Toulouse and
Limoux, one could explore for years and
not see all there is to offer.
Sadly, things don’t always go as planned
and we are not able to return this winter.
So if you are like-minded people who
would enjoy renting a large village house
at a reduced rate in return for taking care of
the house and garden, get in touch.
